2010 : Field near Lyneham
This image was taken to show the remaining evidence of medieval strip farming, the early moisture on the ground shows up the ridges and furrows.
Farms were much smaller in medieval times and the peasants who worked the land did not own the land they worked on. This belonged to the lord of the manor. In this sense, peasants were simply tenants who worked a strip of land or maybe several strips. Hence why this type of farming was called strip farming.
